Beltramelli (471), Campinas, Brazil Feb 26, 2007 Updated: Aug 14, 2007Golden muddy coloration. High/average carbonation. Excellent cream. This beer has an uneven taste, maybe notes of honey and orange................................PORTUGUÊS: Coloração golden turva, com coisas acontecendo... Carbonatação média/alta. Ótimo creme. Essa ceva tem um gosto ímpar, que pra mim se deve às notas de mel e laranja. jalichio999 (502), Brazil Feb 25, 2007 Updated: Sep 7, 2008Coloração dourada turva, com coisas acontecendo...

Pours a beautiful hazy golden with a full head. Fruity nose followed the same in the mouth. Pears, green apples, apricots, cardamon. Slightly sour. but well balanced overall. A bit of yeast and sourdough. Nice. smartlung (154), Valrico, Florida, USA Feb 18, 2007 Bottle from World of Beer in Clearwater - this is a very delicious blond beer which I was expecting - very sweet malty - balanced spices and very good through and through Arayaga2 (933), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Feb 10, 2007 Updated: May 11, 2008Golden honey colored with a HUGE white dimpled head. Aroma is faintly sour with a sweet maltyness. Taste is rather mild, with no biting spice or cloying sweetness. Interesting grape skin flavor in the finish, and warms to apricot aroma and taste. An excellent tripel. $8/750ml sheatripper (863), Brooklyn, New York, USA Feb 4, 2007 Draught at reBar. Hazy amber with a frothy white head. Pronounced yeast aroma, like half baked bread, with light fruity notes--banana, apple, pear, citrus. Off-sweet bready malt flavor with some mild yeasty notes. Fruity and well rounded. Subtle spices-not overpowering or too peppery. Medium to full body with a mostly smooth mouthfeel--fine light carbonation. Very enjoyable. rederic (1787), montréal, Quebec, Canada Jan 26, 2007 Cloudy yellow gold hue, with a rocky white head, leaving nice laces, yeasty fruity nose of citrus fruits, with pineapple, ripe apples, with a spicy coriander accent, with a grapefruit floral hops and a sweet honeyish pale malt aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a yeasty, sweet candied lemon citrusy character, with flowery hop, releasing some grapefruit flavors, with a mellow honeyish warmth alcoholic mouthfeel, with coriander spiciness, ripe apples and pears fruitiness, and sweet pale malt, leading towards a faint dry hops bitterness, and an alcoholic warmth finih. DarkMagus (433), San Jose, California, USA Jan 21, 2007 Clear golden color, moderate white foamy head. Sweet malty and yeasty aroma--presence of spices (clove, coriander), flowers, candy sugar, and perhaps a hint of pineapple and banana. Flavors are a nice balance of sweet malts, spices, and hops. The bitterness of this beer does not allow the sweetness to run rampant. This is a nice, well-balanced tripel. The mouthfeel is soft and a bit sticky, but is dried up nicely by the astringency of the hops. Certainly worth drinking again, and definitely lived up to my expectations. I haven’t yet had a "bad", (or even "average") Gouden Carolus beer. Can’t wait to have more of these...
